Most people tend to think of speaking and writing when they hear the term communication skills. However, those are only two of the skills librarians need to effectively communicate with their users, colleagues, and stakeholders. Increasingly, professionals choose to utilize visual design skills to communicate information and ideas more clearly and efficiently.
“Slide Design Made Simple” is the second in a two-part series on visual communication skills. It will present basic design skills that will help participants increase their competency in communication skills, one of LLAMA's 14 foundational leadership competencies.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this webinar, participants will learn:
-Design concepts for the non-designer, and how they apply to slide presentations
-How to navigate the information density spectrum and create clean, powerful slides
-Ten traps and techniques for slide design
Who Should Attend
This series is ideal for librarians of all types at all career stages.
